Enter any valid Uniscope address in this field. There should be one entry for each
station that connects to this host port. If the host is using group poll there must
also be an entry reflecting that address with the group option turned on. If a station

be entered here.
Auto Connect Station Name
To establish a connection from the host port to a remote station, enter the name of
the station here. Either the Connect on Select or Connect on Link Active options
